Fifth
Sundays
Have you ever noticed that some months have “Five” Sundays in them? This happens
only four times in a calendar year. This is a perfect opportunity for our entire parish
family to worship and fellowship together. With this in mind, starting on Sunday, October 30th, we will combine services and have one single service at 9:00 a.m. on “Fifth
Sundays.” This will be followed by an expanded Coffee Hour at the church. For more
information, please contact Fr. Chris.

Education for Ministry
(EfM)
a distance-learning program for adult Christian formation
through theological education and reflection
offered by the Beecken Center
at the School of Theology of the University of the South,
Sewanee, Tennessee
EfM provides a curriculum that develops a theologically informed, reflective, and articulate laity who
are prepared to listen for and respond to God's call. EfM helps lay persons discover and exercise
their varied gifts for ministry in the places where they live and work.
EfM invites participants into small, mentored groups that provide the framework for understanding
life and shaping actions as Christian faith is deepened. A group consists of six to 12 participants
and a trained mentor who meet weekly over the course of 36 weeks. These meetings are usually
two and a half to three hours long.
Participants are given weekly assignments to study with the help of resource guides and reading
texts. These reading texts offer perspective on the entire sweep of the Christian tradition from the
earliest period through the present, including biblical interpretation, theology, church history, ethics,
worship, spirituality, and interfaith encounter.
As adult learners, group members are responsible for setting their own learning goals and generally
spend between two and four hours in study and preparation each week. In the seminars, members
have an opportunity to share insights and discoveries as well as discuss questions the study materials raise for them.
The program is a four-year curriculum in which each "year" is a 36-week cycle of study. Learners
enroll for one year at a time. The annual fee of $350 per learner covers all required materials and
the honorarium for the mentor. Participants provide their own Bible. Financial assistance may be
available. While based at an Episcopal theological school, EfM welcomes all denominations.
Through study, prayer, and reflection, EfM helps participants move toward a new understanding of
the fullness of God's kingdom as they better appreciate the connections between their faith and their
lives.
Plans are being set for a Education for Ministry group centered at St. Paul's Parish, Baden
and open to anyone wishing to participate. Several people from St. Paul's and elsewhere
have already expressed interest. This new group will start in January 2017. For more information, contact the Rev. Charles Hoffacker at 240-823-7550 or [email protected].

Contra Dance
A Contra Dance, sponsored by Southern Maryland Traditional Music and Dance
(SMTMD), featuring caller Greg Frock, will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016
at the Christ Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 37497 Zach Fowler Rd, Chaptico, MD.
The doors open at 7:00pm and the dancing begins at 7:30. Contra is a traditional
American style of social dance and is a huge amount of fun (and exercise) for the
whole family! If you’ve ever danced a Virginia Reel or been to a Square Dance, you
have a good idea how much fun it can be. If you haven’t, it’s about time you tried it!
Beginners are encouraged to arrive at 7:00 to get some instruction in the various
dances. Admission is $10 for non-SMTMD members; $6 for members (band members are free). No special clothing is required! You need to be comfortable, to move
freely. There will be an ice cream social following the dance. For more information
and directions go to www.smtmd.org
